Stay Here & You Will NOT Wanna Leave!

Location, amenities, AMAZING staff, cleanliness, roof top deck, the list goes on and on. This place is a gem. First time in Newport Beach. Everything you want for a vacation is literally steps away. Ownership has thought of everything to make a stay special. We will be back sooner than later - hopefully.

Date of stay: November 2018

Room tip: Rooms on Balboa Blvd can be loud with traffic & car alarms.

Besides the perfect location in Newport Beach, what you'll also notice most is the awesome service from the very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in the Bay Suite which was fantastic for the 3 of us on our weekend getaway. This isn't the Ritz, but very clean and comfortable with complimentary amenities like fresh baked cookies in the afternoon, breakfast in the morning, and everything you need for a day at the beach (towels, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards.) Walk a block to the beach, and just a couple more to the pier, shops, great restaurants, and bike rentals (we rode bikes to Balboa and took the ferry to Balboa Island---so fun!) I can't recommend Bay Shores highly enough!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review! Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I'm glad you had such a great stay. It sounds like you got to explore all around Balboa Island and the beach! I'm glad you appreciated our quaint hotel and relaxed vintage vibes. We'd love to have you back to stay with us again in the future.

This was a great place to stay right across the street from Newport Beach. Walkable from hotel. Staff and amenities are excellent. I had the suite with a couple of friends. We really enjoyed it, although didn't user the kitchen. If I book the suite again I would definitely plan to cook. Have planned to go again next week, but a regular room, not a suite!

This is exactly what an older hotel should be - clean, refurbished, charming, and comfortable! Staff Ralph and Donna welcomed us like we were family, and made sure we knew where to find the beach stuff (towels, chairs, toys, ice) available for guests to use. The rooftop lounge is great! Tables, chairs, loungers, and unbeatable view. Ralph made sure that we knew we were welcome to take a bottle of wine up to enjoy the sunset and that our friends (residents we were there to visit) were welcome, too. We were also welcome to use the dining room when we ordered our pizza. Our friends will have their visiting family stay there. Location is terrific - one block from beautiful beach, with restaurants, park, and shopping nearby. Post-stay follow up was in the form of an email from the owner and a postcard from Donna.

Perfect spot with access to the bay and ocean. Walking distance to many restaurants. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were small but very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Don't miss the rooftop deck for incredible views of the water and sunset.

I'm sorry your review somehow slipped through and I didn't get a chance to say thank you so much for the 5/5 and for the great, short, perfect review of what we're all about at Bay Shores. We love to make you feel at home away from home and we would look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
